DEEP WEB

KINETIC AUDIOVISUAL INSTALLATION AND PERFORMANCE

BY CHRISTOPHER BAUDER AND ROBERT HENKE

COMMISSIONED BY THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS LYON

Deep Web is a monumental immersive audiovisual installation and live performance created by light artist Christopher Bauder and composer and musician Robert Henke. Presented in enormous pitch dark indoor spaces, Deep Web plunges the audience into a ballet of iridescent kinetic light and surround sound. The work was presented as a preview at CTM 2016 Festival Berlin and will be followed by its original presentation at the Festival of Lights Lyon in December 2016.

The generative, luminous architectural structure weaves 175 motorized spheres and 12 high power laser systems into a 25 meter wide and 10 meter high super-structure, bringing to life a luminous analogy to the nodes and connections of digital networks. Moving up and down, and choreographed and synchronized to an original multi-channel musical score by Robert Henke, the spheres are illuminated by blasts of colourful laser beams resulting in three-dimensional sculptural light drawings and arrangements in cavernous darkness.

The installation brings together decades of separate research and experimentation by two artists with unique visions and passions for sound and light, and by innovative companies working in these fields. High-end laser system manufacturer LaserAnimation Sollinger provided the technical expertise and development for this very specific spatial laser setup. The high precision motor winch systems with real time feedback and the main control software are provided by Design Studio WHITEvoid in collaboration with Kinetic Lights. This novel combination of computer controlled kinetic elements and laser systems allows for setting animated end points to normally infinite laser beams. DEEP WEB uses light as a tangible material to construct threedimensional vector drawings in thin air.

The work was originally commissioned by the Festival of Lights Lyon 2015, and developed in cooperation with local producer Tetro. Due to the festival’s cancellation after the tragic events in Paris, Berliners had the unique chance to attend an exclusive preview before the project will be presented in December 2016 in Lyon for the Festival of Lights 2016.

The Artists:

An artist and designer working in the fields of light and installation art, media design and scenography, Christopher Bauder focuses on the translation of bits and bytes into objects and environments, and vice versa. Space, object, sound, light and interaction are key elements of his work. In 2004 he founded the multidisciplinary art and design studio WHITEvoid, which specializes in interactivity, media, interior architecture, and electronic engineering.

Bauder has brought his installations and performances to art events and spaces around the world, including Centre Pompidou Paris, MUTEK Montreal, Festival of Lights Lyon, Luminale Frankfurt, The Jewish Museum Berlin and The National Museum of Fine Arts in Taiwan. He is best known for his city-wide light art installation “Lichtgrenze”, created in 2014 together with his brother Marc, for the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall and his large scale kinetic live shows ATOM and GRID. Both in cooperation with Robert Henke.

Alongside his numerous releases as Monolake, Robert Henke is also well known for the music, audiovisual installations and performances he has been creating under his own name since the early 90s. Due to his background in engineering and fascination with the beauty of technical objects, the development of his own instruments and algorithms has always been an integral part of his creative process. Henke also co-developed the omnipresent Ableton Live music software, which since its invention in 1999 has become the standard tool for electronic music production and completely redefined live performance practice.

His installations and performances have been presented at Tate Modern London, the Centre Pompidou Paris, PS-1 New York, MUDAM Luxembourg, MAK Vienna, the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Australia, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, and at countless festivals.

HPL media street event 2015 from MEDIASPANK on Vimeo.

HPL Media Street Event 2015 is coming to an end so it’s time to sum up. It is the reason for us to share with you our final video from the main audio-visual event in Saint-Petersburg that took place at 26 September. Created by the Museum of street art and audiovisual laboratory “Media Culture”, it became a great collaboration of audio-visual art, electronic music and street art - a completely new format and level for St. Petersburg. 3 performance spaces and 4 zones for installation were visited by over 4,000 people. We are so proud of such a nice genteel public; the atmosphere was so warm despite the cold weather. We’d like to mark some moments, memories of which are particularly striking: Ryoichi Kurokawa performance, Tundra installation, the first art laser and sound installation, realized in St. Petersburg from Licht.Pfad (Berlin). Three new projects: Automata (Berlin), Westige Swell (St. Petersburg) and Erofeev (Moscow time) presented themselves for the first time at HPL - it’s especially important for us. Thanks to the best Russian sound artists who were able to come all together at one place, to the Moscow association Opart for the exciting mapping games on forty-foot containers, as well as laboratories and engineering companies that participated in the creation of the project. What's next? HPL Media Street Event will become an annual event, waiting for you in August 2016! mediacult.pro/ facebook.com/mediacult.pro/ hplfestival.com facebook.com/hplfestival vk.com/hpl2015 facebook.com/mediaspanks vk.com/mediaspank Звук - Intercity-Express vimeo.com/user9591764 Видео - kinemotor.ru
